A job vacancy listed on 8 October spotted by Ars Technica is looking for a Senior Program Manager to "drive key features into Windows 8" from the Internet Information Services team.

The second listing posted a day later asks for a Principal Lead Program Manager who it seems will be responsible for co-ordinating a closer integration of Windows Live Mail into the new OS.

Finally there are two further job vacancies asking for software engineers – one in particular for debugging issues across the new OS.

It's nice to see Microsoft isn't resting on its laurels and the general praise for Windows 7 before getting stuck in to its next project, although it's also slightly annoying that it's found stuff to improve on already.

Still we'll expect more details on Windows 8 to hit when Microsoft really starts to get its teeth in to it in the coming months.
